Booked by 3 families in South Houston, TX

Hi, my name is Mya. I’m a CDA certified bilingual nanny with over 5 years of experience working with infants, toddlers, and young children. My approach is very hands-on, engaging, and Montessori-inspired. I encourage independence, problem-solving, emotional regulation, and letting children learn through real experiences instead of constant entertainment or screen time. I naturally bring a big sister type of energy into childcare. I love joking around, staying active with the kids, and building genuine relationships with them, while still being consistent with boundaries, routines, and respect within the home. I believe children thrive when expectations are clear and they feel both supported and capable. Something families tend to appreciate about me is that I’m not intimidated by strong personalities or difficult behaviors. I stay calm, consistent, and communicative, and I genuinely care about helping children grow into confident, respectful, and emotionally secure people. I also deeply respect each family’s culture, religion, parenting style, and household values, and I always aim to support the environment parents are trying to create at home.

Ally Jo Houston
$15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Allyson Jo, or more commonly known as Ally Jo and I have over 10 years of experience caring for children ranging from infants to teenagers. I am CPR and First Aid certified and passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. My childcare experience includes multiple long-term nanny positions. I cared for a family with a 5 year old boy and 2 year old boy while also helping care for their dog. I also spent two years nannying for a family with a 6 year old girl and a 6 month old boy, along with their cat. These experiences taught me the importance of patience, adaptability, and building strong relationships with both children and parents! In addition to my freelance nannying, I am a high school volleyball coach, which has strengthened my leadership, communication, and mentoring skills. I am also currently studying sociology in college, where I enjoy learning about human behavior, relationships, and community. I also have three wonderful nephews (ages 3, 5, and 7) who keep me active and remind me how important creativity, energy, and kindness are when caring for children. Outside of childcare, I co-own a small business with my sister creating personalized hand-painted banners. Running our business has allowed me to express my creativity and develop strong organizational and communication skills. I love incorporating creativity into activities with children, whether that means arts and crafts, imaginative play, or fun hands-on projects. I'm a huge animal lover and previously worked at a doggy daycare, and regularly pet sit; so I'm very comfortable caring for pets alongside children. Whether it's helping with organizing activities, preparing meals, playing outdoors, or caring for family pets, I'm happy to support your family's needs. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and engaging, and I would love the opportunity to provide excellent care for your children and peace of mind for you.

Alyza Pasadena
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hello there!! My names Alyza and I am excited to help busy parents and their adorable children! I have a strong background in childcare and a natural passion for caring for kids. Not only do I have professional experience as an RBT, working with children on the autism spectrum and supporting their growth, but I’m also a mom myself, which gives me a deep understanding of the patience, love, and responsibility that comes with looking after little ones. Along with childcare, I’m happy to provide support around the home and with pets. As a dog mom to three big pups, I’m very comfortable handling animals and making sure they’re well cared for too. My experience combines professional training, personal parenting, and a genuine love for children and families, which makes me a reliable and compassionate caretaker you can count on.

Booked by 8 families in South Houston, TX

I am a graduate from LSU with a BS in psychology and minor degree in health sciences. I have years of babysitting experience from my 13 nieces & nephews ranging from 6 months old to age 16. I am currently a Teacher’s Aide at a special education school. I enjoy working with children and always want to make sure they feel safe and have a good time. During my years of experience I would do fun activities both indoors and outdoors and assist with homework. I have also drove children to and from school and extracurricular activities.

Great personality and the kids had a wonderful time with her. We will definitely have her back!
